If your child was a sinner If your child who you thought you knew If your child who had cried on your shoulder was crying 'cause of what you call 'truth' If that was your child what'd you do?

Another trip to the Geffen Playhouse for The Lonely Few –

As it turned out, Damon Daunno was apparently dealing with a vocal issue so Zoe Sarnak, the show’s composer/lyricist, covered for Dylan’s singing parts from a seat next to the stage.

Nyla Sostre played Amy and I found her version to be just a bit easier to read than Ciara Renée’s Amy, though it’s possible that part of that is due to having seen this before and/or having a clearer viewing angle in certain scenes. (Ciara Renée’s Amy struck me as slightly more reserved and introverted, which made me think “oh I see why she would have been cast as Elsa.”)

This time around I sat in a seat with a better view of Lila and Adam’s apartment, which last time was only partially visible to me. (I hadn’t even realized there was a neon sign in the window.) In particular this meant that I could see Joshua Close as Adam sitting listlessly in an easy chair and drinking while Lila ventured out on the road.

Overall I once again I really enjoyed the show. The songs are solid, flow well with the story, and I think I’d enjoy listening to a recording.
